In the history of administrative division of Zhuzhou, Hunan Province, you county in Chaling came first, and Zhuzhou was built in the late Qing Dynasty.

The black dotted line below is the administrative division scope of contemporary Zhuzhou City.

The picture above shows the Western Han Dynasty in AD 7. During the Qin dynasty, Zhuzhou was now under the jurisdiction of Changsha county, and there was no county-level administrative agency at that time. By the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there were three counties in Zhuzhou today, all under the jurisdiction of Changsha.

Chaling County, located in the fifth year of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC), is the origin of today's administrative system in Chaling County, named after Chashan in the south. At this time, the county seat is located in Batuan Township, Chaling County. It was moved to this place in the Tang Dynasty and continues to this day.

Youxian County, located in the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (the first 202 years), is the origin of the administrative system of Youxian County today, named after Youxi in the north. At this time, the county seat is located in Yinshangang Village, Youxian County, which was abandoned several times. In the Five Dynasties, the county town moved to this site, which has continued to this day.

Rongling County in the Western Han Dynasty is located in the southwest of Youxian County. It was abolished at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and did not last.

The picture above shows the Eastern Han Dynasty in 160. Compared with the Western Han Dynasty, there are more Liling counties in the territory, and all four counties are under the jurisdiction of Changsha County.

Liling County, located in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is the origin of the administrative system of Liling City today. According to Taiping Universe, "there is a mausoleum in the north of the county, with wells and springs like rafts, because of the county name." At this time, the county seat is located in today's Liling City and continues to this day.

The picture above shows the Western Jin Dynasty in 28 1 year. At this time, there are five counties in Zhuzhou City, which belong to Changsha, Hengyang and Xiangdong respectively.

Time Home in Jianning County, Wu Dong. The county seat was originally located in Zhuzhou City, and later moved to Gantian Town, Lukou District. The Tang dynasty was abolished and has not continued to this day.

PS: Zhuzhou, an encyclopedia, said that "Jianning County was established by Sun Quan in the 19th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (2 14)", and the author claimed to be an expert. The demarcation of Xiangjiang River was in 2 15, when this area was still Liu Bei's territory.

Xiangxi County and Wu Dong Taiping were placed in Xiangnan County in 257, which is the origin of Xiangtan's administrative system today and is named after the west of Xiangshui. At this time, the county seat is located in the southwest of Zhuzhou City, and the Sui Dynasty changed to Hengshan County.

The picture above shows the Sui Dynasty in 6 12 AD. After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, many small counties were abolished and merged, so there were only two counties left in Zhuzhou at this time. Generally speaking, it belongs to Changsha County in the north (now the predecessor of Changsha City) and Hengshan County in the south (now the predecessor of Hengyang City).

The above picture shows the Tang Dynasty in 74 1 year. Youxian County and Chaling County, which were briefly abolished and merged in the Sui Dynasty, have now been restored, so there are four counties in Zhuzhou City at this time, belonging to two states.

In addition, in 749 AD, eight years after the above picture. Hengshan county was renamed Xiangtan county and moved to Xiangtan today.

The picture above shows the Northern Song Dynasty111year. Now there are only three counties in Zhuzhou, two of which belong to Tanzhou and one to Hengzhou. Youxian county also moved to this address at this time.

The picture above shows the Yuan Dynasty in 1330. In the 19th year of Yuan Dynasty (1282), Chaling County established Chaling House, which was under the jurisdiction of Huguangxing Province. Although Youxian County and Liling County have also been promoted to the state, they are all under the jurisdiction of Tianlin Road and are not at the same level as Chaling State.

Therefore, Chaling District is the first local secondary administrative organization in Zhuzhou today.

Lingxian County was established in the fourth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (12 1 1), which is the origin of the administrative system in Yanling County today. Today there is a county, and 1994 was renamed as Yanling County.

The picture above shows the Ming Dynasty in A.D. 1582. Today, there are three counties and one state in Zhuzhou, which belong to Changsha Prefecture and Hengzhou Prefecture.

Liling Prefecture and Youzhou were demoted to counties in Yuan Dynasty, and Chaling Prefecture was demoted to scattered states from Zhili Prefecture, which was also under the jurisdiction of Changsha Prefecture. Lingxian county is still under the jurisdiction of Hengzhou government.

The picture above shows the late Qing Dynasty. In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1908), Zhuzhou Hall was established, which is the origin of the administrative system in Zhuzhou today.

The hall is an administrative unit used in the newly developed areas in the Qing Dynasty, which is divided into Zhili hall and San hall. Zhili Hall is a municipal administrative unit under the provincial jurisdiction, and Santing is a county-level administrative unit. Zhuzhou hall is the scattered hall, which is under the jurisdiction of Changsha government.

The above picture shows the period of Beiyang government in 19 14. At this time, Zhuzhou is under the jurisdiction of Xiangjiang Road, and Yanling County is under the jurisdiction of Hengyang Road.

195 1 year, the eastern part of Xiangtan county is located in Zhuzhou city (county level), and 1956 was promoted to a provincial city (prefecture level), which is what Zhuzhou city looks like in the picture. At this time, the rest of the area still belongs to Xiangtan area and Chenxian area.

With 1983, the system of city governing counties was implemented, and Youxian County, Chaling County, Liling County and Lingxian County were placed under the jurisdiction of Zhuzhou City, which gradually became today's administrative divisions.

Throughout the history of Zhuzhou City, regional administrative divisions. Chaling County and Youxian County have the longest history, but they have not developed into prefecture-level administrative centers. Since modern times, Zhuzhou has developed by leaps and bounds and has gradually become a prefecture-level city.

Finally, talk about Yanling County, which has been under the jurisdiction of Hengyang for a long time in history. Until more than 30 years ago, it was still under the jurisdiction of Zhuzhou City. In fact, the situation in Liling, Chaling and Youxian is similar.

The author is a little skeptical about the strong sense of belonging and identity of these districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Zhuzhou City, and I don't know if it is right.

The author sorts out the history of administrative divisions in Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Jiangxi, and can find more concerns.
